To the Teacher: 



Concentration is the leading factor in the study of any subject 
and especially is this true of shorthand. 

This book is planned and designed with a view of concentra- 
tion of the highest degree. Superfluous reading matter is omitted; 
the directness in instruction on the principles are given with a 
view to clearness. 

It will be noted that every rule is illustrated immediately fol- 
lowing the rule. The Illustrated Writing, following, puts the matter 
in the hands of the student in the most helpfu ^"^vle. 

Note the pages of nomenclature; note the list of words for 
illustrative writing; then note, following, the miscellaneous pages 
of exercises, including the writing and reading exercises. Repeti- 
tion is necessary for the best impression on the mind and to cul- 
tivate quickness of thought and muscle. 

Each page in this book is so arranged that much repetition 
can be had without destroying the energy or ambition of the stu- 
dent. You will also note a little departure from the usual arrange- 
ment of text books, in that word signs are left out until the prin- 
ciples are mastered. Following the chapter of w^ord signs is the chap- 
ter of Phrasing. 

The author has found by experience, that by the plan of this 
book the Graham-Pitmatic System can be given the student as 
easily and as quickly as any system. No one questions the utility 
of the Graham-Pitmatic system after is is learned. 

Each exercise should be written MANY times, 

AUTHOR.
